About
Senior Cloud Engineer with over 15 years of IT experience in systems and network administration. I hold an AWS Certified Solutions Architect Associate certification and have designed, built, and deployed serverless solutions to AWS. I enjoy automating with PowerShell, learning new technologies, building tool sets with Docker, running them on Kubernetes, and sharing them with the world - learn more about my projects and writings on my GitHub page.
As an IT professional I’ve had the opportunity to work in Managed Services, School, Enterprise, and Non-Profit settings and have expertise in network and systems administration, routing and switching, virtualization, PowerShell scripting and automation, Microsoft enterprise solutions including cloud offerings such as Microsoft 365 and Teams, Amazon Web Services, Salesforce development with Skuid's low code platform.
Throughout this time I have gained valuable experience and insight to understand IT is not an end but a means to achieve the goals necessary for a business to thrive and grow.
